I've seen that too. I think it's something on the Genii server blocking it. I sent an email to the admin.

I took a look around myself and think I fixed it (let me know), but need to verify with admin that my fix is not breaking something else on Genii servers.

Disambiguations

Joe, is there a standard system you've set up for handling ambiguities? If not, can you install the "hatnote" template? Examples: Magic by Gosh is the name of a Goshman DVD, a book, and his company. For another topic (I don't remember what...), I used "Title" for one usage and "Title (book)" for another (or maybe it was "Title (year)"?). Just wanted to get on the same page...

It's done to stop spamming (spammers like to put really long titles). I'll look to see if I can get on the server to bump up the limit some day, but I don't mind doing them in the mean time though. Joe P. 19:08, 24 January 2015 (EST)

Found where it was done and increased the length to 80 characters. Let me know if you think it needs to be longer

I've seen that before. I'll take a look and try to fix again. Thanks! Joe P. 16:56, 3 May 2015 (EST)

Can't figure this out. Seems to be happening before it gets to the wiki. I'm guessing some kind of filter to stop hackers. We hope to upgrade the software soon. Will check again after the update.

Thanks for the Welcome to MAGICPEDIA !

User:Jpecore - Thanks for sending me the nice welcome to MAGICPEDIA over on my own Talk Page. Appreciate it.
As for my modest, little art and collectibles business --- we did have shops, first one in Alexandria for several years in the Mount Vernon Antique Center on Richmond Hwy, then later moved to one on Liberia Ave. in Manassas in an Antiques Mall for a little over a year. Currently we're operating mostly on-line, and even that has been somewhat dormant for several months of late, due to family obligations, often on short notice, that have called us out-of-town frequently to Upstate New York. If, and when, we do crank back up, or revive our business in a shop or booth somewhere, I'll let you know. I've edited my User Page to avoid suggesting that we currently have a store-front shop open. Thanks again for your nice welcome to MAGICPEDIA. I've always enjoyed having its resources available, and am really having fun now, getting more engaged as a registered user/editor.

Wish I had known about Manassas one when it was open, my neck of the woods! And, my folks are from upstate New York (Massena area).

Glad to have you helping out with MagicPedia. The Al Cohen page is looking great! Joe P. 16:25, 17 July 2015 (EST)

My bride is from the Mohawk Valley area in Upstate New York (Little Falls), and her elderly mother still has a home there in the Valley, where she is currently residing.

Both the house, and the mother-in-law, require a certain amount of routine upkeep and preventive maintenance, increasingly exceeding the capabilities of a simple phone call.

Having lots of fun working on Al Cohen's well-deserved page -- he's a terrific guy and a dear friend, and he and Rita were both still going strong, last I talked with him(we stay in touch mostly by e-Mail these days) even if he's slowing down just a tad doing a 3-card Monte or his coin routines, at age 89-1/2.>Professor JR 17:04, 17 July 2015 (EST)

Ah. That is closer to where my aunts and cousins live in Rome, New York. I saw Al at this years Magi-Whirl convention. He looked good!

Wikipedia links

We have a standard template on Magicpedia for including a link to Wikipedia (with the same article name) called {{Wikipedia}}. Lots of pages already have it. The template also covers us with standard text to comply with wikipedia rules. Joe P. 05:59, 22 July 2015 (EST)

How do I, or what needs doing to fix this in the articles I have tried to inter-link? I apologize if I created any problems. Would be happy to try to fix any that I did wrong. --- Professor JR 06:39, 22 July 2015 (EST)

Resting places

I have several databases at my disposal including US Ancestry and Genealogybank. I have had some luck locating resting places and making memorials on Findagrave.com. I wish that I could find the name of the Black Wizard of the West. He supposedly died in 1922 while performing the bullet catch trick. Google is mostly regurgitation s of the same old things. If anyone has any ideas, let me know.

I'll take a look through my resources and see what I can find about the Black Wizard of the West. Joe P. (talk)
